PART III: Home Life

Arthur's daily existence alters as he transforms into Artemis. The emphasis in Logos is on practicality and efficiency. Every matched group of people inhabits the same type of cubic building, The Cubic Dwelling. There is no purpose in having a range of residences or layouts when each individual can utilize a single one as the concept works for the people. It is not practical or efficient; it is simply a waste of time. Artemis and his guardians, Sergio and Pati, inhabit one of the units in the Cubic Dwelling, room 768DE-09. The house offers everything the trio requires: bathrooms, a kitchen, and separate sleeping quarters. These are all the rooms in the house because these are all they need to live; any extra space would be a waste of resources or promote excessive contact. By reducing each habitation to the bare necessities, each group is urged to focus on their routine and to devote their energy and time to producing valuable contributions to their role. Additional elements in the household may lead to unnecessary interactions, which may build emotional connections. These emotional bonds will reduce each person's efficiency and disrupt their routine. This is not permitted in Logos. Artemis adjusts to the standard routine for the children of the world, which consists of waking, leaving the home for his specialized schooling, then returning to the dwelling to consume meals and bathe before heading to his allotted room for rest. Meals are provided during the school day to ensure that the children can perform to their full potential. Artemis' schooling concentrates on the visual arts since he has been tested to be more adept in the field. He will eventually be educated to the point where his skill permits him to operate as a member of society. He will reach a stage when his abilities will qualify him for a job in the visual arts, whether it is drawing schematics to aid other occupations or creating pictures for educational reasons. Since Artemis is still in the middle of his studies, he is supervised by Pati and Sergio until he is prepared to support himself.

Pati, who is excellent in the culinary arts, stays at home to keep an eye on Artemis and his regimen until Sergio arrives home from work. When dinner arrives, each member of the household sits at their assigned eating table in the kitchen and consumes their own serving of food. Each individual has their own space, isolated from the others so that the kitchen is only used for meals. This avoids mealtime conversations, which can lead humans to lose track of time and fall behind schedule. Eating is only a way to get energy and meet biological demands. After dining and bathing, everyone in the home returns to their designated room for the night. The people of the Logos place a high importance on sound sleep as it allows them to be more productive in their everyday responsibilities, which ultimately increases the world's efficiency.
